Review of Iron Lung

Director, writer, and cast: Provided by Letterboxd.com

IMDb.com Synopsis: The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only individuals aboard space stations or starships were left to give the end a name – The Quiet Rapture. After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Consolidation of Iron has made a discovery on a barren moon designated AT-5. An ocean of blood. Hoping to discover desperately needed resources they immediately launch an expedition. A submarine is crafted and a convict is welded inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean the forward viewport has been encased in metal. If successful, they will earn their freedom. If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition.

Concessions of a Cinephile

In this segment, we switch to movie-motivated conversations of a large variety that could include headlines, trailers, top five lists, best of, competitions, etc….

Topic: World Exploration through Cinema

Roger Ebert is cited as saying, “We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in their walls. They allow us to enter other minds, not simply in the sense of identifying with the characters, although that is an important part of it, but by seeing the world as another person sees it.”

Movies are windows to the world.
